What was going on till the final table in the first annual competition was unbelievable as many famous poker players were knocked out. Their game was fast and loose and it seemed as if the game was over in a few seconds. Many celebrities and highrollers were eliminated. The first to go was Scotty Nguyen, then there were Rene Angelil (Celine Dion’s husband), professional poker player and emcee Robert Williamson III, and Playmate Samantha Cole. Jeff Gordon having shared the table with Williamson and Chris Jesus Ferguson left the game after two hours into play.

The group of finalists consisted of Chris Moneymaker, who was the first, Anna Bravo, who in the game proudly outlasted Jesus, and Ali Nejad. Lately they were joined by Mitchell Mantin, Buddy Kemner, Mike Sugg and Rock Cloutier. The last one – Rock Cloutier – was late making people wait for him in the best traditions of Phil Hellmuth, but not living up to Hellmuth’s best playing poker standards.

The first prize was taken by Mike Sugg of Moorpark, and Nejad won the second one. The winner got nearly $18K in cash, a seat in the WSOP and a handshake from Jeff Gordon.

The tournament appeared to be pretty funny, unusual, but entertaining. From the very beginning of the tournament up to the final presentation the room was full of fans, friends, ESPN production folks getting ready for the upcoming NASCAR broadcast and simple strangers. The underprivileged families across the country will benefit from the tournament.
Las Vegas will willingly welcome Jeff Gordon and his crew next year.

Filming a party by online casino Bodog.com CEO Calvin Ayre was upset by the unexpected arrival of policemen who seemed to believe that an illegal casino poker night session was taking place at Ayre’s mansion in Costa Rico. The behavior of the policemen left much to be desired and everything what was going on could be compared with some cruel scenes from a detective movie. In fact a filmed party was just a part of a poker tournament that according to the arranged schedule should be broadcast by a TV network. Fortunately nobody was arrested, only some things were confiscated such as a laptop and several files with organizational material.
 
The reason for the court-ordered raid might be constant gossip in local press concerning Canada’s newest forty four year old billionaire, Calvin Ayre. Probably one thought couldn’t leave journalists in peace: how could a person being only 44 years old make such a huge fortune? That paranoid thought lead to a not less paranoid idea of Ayre’s constant organizations of illegal casino sessions. As a result police raids were not a success, for gambling parts of a poker show were filmed at a local TV station, but not in Ayre’s mansion.

That’s why seeing Josh Savilisky at home but being completely sober, clean and wearing trousers was pleasant.

Having two part-time jobs he manages to play Internet poker approximately six hours a day. He is just a usual waiter at work, lonely at home since he is a bachelor, but as soon as he logs on to PartyPoker.com and becomes one of the 30 poker players in Texas Hold’Em tournament.

As it was reported on Monday Pinnacle Entertainment Inc. would buy Tropicana-owner Aztar Corp. for about $1.45 billion, all the outstanding shares of Aztar for $38 (by the way Aztar shares were up $7.10, or 23 percent, at $37.77 in morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Pinnacle was up $2.19, or 7.8 percent, at $30.20). The company is ready to pay in cash. The purchase will make it possible for Pinnacle Entertainment Inc. having properties in Indiana, Nevada, Louisiana and Argentina but possessing no casinos in Las Vegas to extend the power into the markets of Las Vegas and Atlantic City.

As the company claims the deal will cover about $723 million in Aztar debt and will surely give 24% over Aztar’s closing price, defined on March 10.

According to William Schmitt’s words - an analyst at CIBC World Markets - the company is going to pay up, what is explained by the fact that the lands owned by Aztar in Las Vegas are rather costly.

The analysts say that the takeover deal is the largest one in the gambling business since the previous year Pinnacle’s positions that were not welcomed and obviously dwarfed by Harrah’s Entertainment Inc. and MGM Mirage Inc. that couldn’t let the third but a smaller chain enter the two largest casino markets in the USA.
That deal made Pinnacle the world’s largest casino operator after Caesars Entertainment Inc.(the possession of Harrah’s Entertainment Inc. ) was closed and MGM Mirage bought out Mandalay Resort Group.

The fact that Arizona Cardinals had the worst season in the NFL last year didn’t stop Edgerrin James from signing a four-year contract with them on Sunday. He explains his decision by his risky character, by the absence of fear to do something different in this life. His nature of a poker player cannot let him miss the chance. The sum of the contract runs as high as $30 million.

Having played seven seasons with the Colts, James, the two-time league rushing champion, became free-agent. He clearly understood that there was almost no chance to be taken to Indianapolis after an unlucky season that was lost to Pittsburgh in the AFC divisional round. Though having set team records for rushing attempts (2,188), yards (9,226) and touchdowns (64) James left the Colts. As Bill Polian, the president of the Colts, admitted, he had some risk by having made the decision against putting the franchise label on James what made possible for him to enter the free-agent market.

The game without Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne will be completely different, but James claims that Cardinals possess very good players as well. To them he refers Kurt Warner, Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald.

No doubt Arizona’s acquisition was the most striking news of the day, even in comparison with some other contracts, like that offered to Steve Hutchinson by Minnesota. His seven-year deal is worth $49 million, with guaranteed $16 million. In such a way the Vikings tended to upgrade having made the richest offer for a guard in NFL history.

WR Antwaan Randle El was also signed by the Redskins to a seven-year contract being worth $31 million, while Christian Fauria who had spent four years with New England signed a deal with Washington.

Drew Brees, a free-agent quarterback, having visited the Saints in New Orleans, left for Miami to have negotiations with the Dolphins.

online casino GoldenPalace known for such things like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s baby scan, Virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwiches and many other amazing stunts and performances naturally wants nothing but always to appear in the headlines. To lose their spot is to lose their fame. And it’s high time for Hollywood to make a movie about the casino that always possesses plenty of interesting ideas to make them be noticed. One of the recent ideas is to go after an Academy Award, by leasing it.

GoldenPalace spokesperson Drew Black reports that they had an attempt of buying an Oscar Award, but the attempt failed, since there is an agreement that tells that Awards given in the years following 1951 cannot be sold.

The failure did not disappoint the online casino but vice versa the situation made people work creatively. The attention was paid to the Award given in 1960 to Morris Stoloff for the score in the musical “Song Without End” which the online casino decided to lease, as nothing is said about leasing in the agreement. The deal is said to be about $30,000.

The primary sum the casino was ready to pay for Margaret O’Brien’s Oscar for Outstanding Juvenile Performer of 1944 ran as high as $100,000, but Margaret refused having motivated her decision by her daughter’s wish to possess it after her death. Having been offered leasing O’Brien said it might be possible the following year.

In fact, it must be added that Morris Stoloff’s Academy Award was leased by the casino for the following 999 years, and the latest purchase should be sent to the casino’s recent invention, traveling museum exhibiting different queer things.

Drew Black claims that the casino is eager to lease all kinds of Awards including Oscar, Grammy, Emmy and Golden Globe, and wants all the winners to know about it. Black adds that their offer to Ms. O’Brien remains valid.

A financial controller who used to work for a casino, Paul Theodore Del Vacchio by name, a forty-year-old man, from Murrieta, CA, was arrested last year on a charge of embezzlement-related and identity theft crimes (in all 26 charges). Besides he was charged with using the casino chef’s private information. During the investigation it was found out that the man had spent all the stolen money on gambling. Del Vacchio pleaded
guilty to all of the charges.

The theft was discovered by his bank when their attention was drawn by a few thousands dollar transfer from the casino account to Del Vacchio’s ATM cards. The embezzlement was committed in 2003, and the casino management was immediately informed. As a result an inner investigation was undertaken.

According to the official notices Paul Theodore Del Vacchio will be sentenced on the 21^st of April to 4 years of imprisonment. Judge James T. Warren suggested Del Vacchio to sell his house to a private buyer to pay back his plea bargain. The proposed cost of the house is said to be about $535,000, that is the sum to be returned to Del Vacchio’s ex-employers.

Gail Morrison, a 70-year-old woman, suffering from post-polio syndrome has to use a scooter to travel. She cannot help being upset every time she remembers the event that took place just after the New Year’s Day. She says she was going to have dinner with her family at the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino.

In accordance with Morrison’s claims, having arrived she had problems with parking her scooter.  Gail was asked by the hostess to park the scooter at the door not to block the way. Naturally she was not strong enough to walk further. Morrison did moved the scooter over but the hostess was not still pleased. It goes without saying Gail Morrison was unhappy to experience those disgusting feelings of being in the way. Having left the restaurant in tears the woman was persuaded by the members of her family to dine inside the Steakhouse. Having entered the room she was offered a seat at the back of the restaurant.

Circus Circus, and the disability rights group, Nevadans for Equal Access received Morrison’s filed complaints online. The group, in its turn wrote a letter addressed to Circus Circus management claiming that they have failed to carry out the Americans with Disabilities Act as they were disable to seat Morrison. The Circus Circus Hotel and Casino management replied that the Steakhouse did the best to carry out the ADA, and it was completely employee’s failure who was unaware of the accommodation requirements suggested by the ADA. The hotel and casino assured of the absence of similar incidents in future.

The president of NEA, Paul Martin, stated that such incidents should not happen. He, having worked many years at the problem of making Sin City resorts accessible to the disabled, can remember numerous cases when the disabled could not be accommodated, in spite of the fact that the landmark ADA law was passed sixteen years ago.
